The Class of 2014

Got your diary handy? Because this year is going to be very busy indeed... everything from LaFerrari to tiny superminis

What is it? Still officially a ‘concept', the R is nonetheless due to arrive this year with some serious performance from a small-but-mighty 1.6-litre turbo from the RCZ R: 270bhp and 243lb ft through the front wheels, enough for 0-62mph in under six. Should I be interested? Ish. The 308 R should be priced in the region of £27k. So not cheap cheap, and midway between a Golf GTI and Golf R, with power similarly balanced between those two.
